As far as she can remember, Ava was born somewhere in the Burrow, long time before any word of "digital" or "awoos". She does not have any spefic memory of a "hometown", as her parents and wider family (including Pomněnka) were nomadic as far as her memory goes – while not always on the road, they were moving regularly enough that she only has fragments of memories of various places, forming the vivid, vibrant kaleidoscope of her childhood. From early on, she trained to be a dancer (the martial artist kind; her parents didn't speak of it, but perhaps their clan had ties to in Spring), and while she did not care for government affairs or public performances, she saw others that she looked up to working as bodyguards/escorts for hire, or simply protecting their clan, and so she knew her chosen path would easily fit into their lifestyle no matter where they went.

However, as she entered adulthood, her parents made the difficult decision to settle down, realizing they needed a change of pace with a life at a small farm (in a remote location in Spring, confirming her theory about their origins). Ava only managed to last a few months there before getting restless. She missed her friends from the caravan, while Pomněnka was yearning to go back to exploring new places, and so they agreed to go back to the clan together. Since their parents left on good terms, and were, in a way, still considered honorary members, Ava and Pomněnka had no issues rejoining the group. Ava then started working as one of the caravan's guards, while Pomněnka eventually separated from them again to live in various cities (and eventually moving to explore The Core, too). After the gates opened, Ava of course heard of The Core and met many of the strange wolf people on the road, learning even more from Pomněnka's letters, but she decided The Burrow would always be her home.
